ML112 FEL Mystery Question

[Dougster]

I wouldn't answer that one without a detailed description (pictures and CAD drawings included) of the intended use. Then I would still think twice about any guarantee.

Dang lawyer...

Sorry just trying to minimize Legal exposure. It's part of my job description.

Yes... unfortunately it's part of everyone's job description today. Even mine.

Hi Larry - First off, I don't think you're answer is as legitimate as you claim! Secondly, I will only say that it has something to do with the new routing and termination of my new (currently on order) longer, smaller diameter grapple lines. More detail than that is going to require some more thought and experimentation.

Why not try running them inside the loader arm like the rest of them. I'm thinking about the left hand side since I think the right side is a little crowded already. You can come up from below the floor pan on the left side then up the loader post to the arm. I can't remember if there is a hole in the loader arm down front like on the right side or not.

So if I use them for some other purpose... will you guarantee I am never going to regret it???

From my experience on the production floor...........use them as you like for whatever you want and deny it was you that ran the lines through those holes. No paperwork either.

OOPS looks like I need to revise that. Just looked at your pictures again and it looks like your lines run on the outside of the loader arm. The 245 lines run on the inside of the arm. Might not work for you.

Sounds like copable deniability (spelling again) to me. IE that guy that got fired last week must have done that.

It will be another left side run... 1/4" line rather than my old 1/2" line (that was never intended to be permanent anyway). I just have some interesting ideas for an easy-on, easy-off hose system since the grapple hoses are not used everyday or even close. So why risk damage or wear them out at the hinge point when they are only used 9.2% of the time???

I also must admit (with some embarrassment) that I am still dropping buckets and even the grapple on occasion. That crazy, messed-up, light-duty tool carrier has got to go! Anyway, I want a longer hose with a safety loop or two to prevent catastrophic "loss of fluid" accidents (read: hydraulic oil geysers) behind expensive homes that just got all new vinyl siding. Without some kind of grapple drop protection loop... it's only a matter of time.

Ed - We need to teach you how to run an Internet forms spellcheck! Don't you have the Google toolbar???
